1
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:36,400
Nonka nonpoenare.

2
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,280
Nonka nonpoenare.

3
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,240
Nonka nonpoenare.

4
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:12,920
Non cano può nare, può nare.

5
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:45,080
The ancestral peoples of the Amazon
sensed the arrival of the invaders.

6
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,360
Anticipating an offensive that
It would devastate our community.

7
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,120
In preparation for this big change,
they put the profound teachings

8
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,640
mystics to sleep,
hiding them from invaders to

9
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,880
preserve them for future times.

10
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,600
Just like you bury a seed deep down
of the earth,

11
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,400
knowing that the time will come
in which it will bear fruit again.

12
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,360
That's how it was in my father's time
that indigenous elders spread the

13
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,600
news through the mountains,
through the forest, which had reached the

14
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,440
moment of an ancient prophecy being fulfilled.

15
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:57,560
This prophecy spoke of a time when
people from two very different cultures

16
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:01,920
whether they would go to share and learn.

17
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:09,160
This culture was called
of Okondô and the eagle.

18
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:21,160
Okondô's gift is the power of the heart
and the power of the eagle, the power of the mind.

19
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,920
They are two halves of a whole

20
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,320
over time they separated.

21
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,880
So, while some
vive intimamente conectado à terra e outro

22
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,760
vive como se a terra
não tivesse importância.

23
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,480
A águia deve visitar o condor,
o condor deve visitar a águia.

24
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,480
Jesus, I see you.

25
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:29,040
How are you?

26
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,320
Justin, tell us about your work
and what it means to you.

27
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,320
Sure.
So I'm Dr. Justin Dwyer.

28
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,440
I work in palliative medicine,
dealing with people who are dying,

29
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,680
and it's one of those things where people
often wonder, you know,

30
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,880
must be so depressing.

31
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,120
But actually, I have to say,
it's the most life-affirming environment

32
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,480
I've ever worked in because
it's all about living.

33
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,680
Now, we all know that we're going to die,
but actually being told it is happening

34
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,280
now,
you have an illness now

35
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:12,840
that is going to kill you,
produces, I think, a much more raw

36
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,480
visceral process of self-examination
that normally brings up

37
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,120
a lot of turmoil and despair.

38
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,480
And so we're really trying to find ways
for people to hold onto

39
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,440
their identity and their connections
as they let this happen to themselves,

40
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,640
because that's all you can do, right?

41
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,460
You can't stop yourself from dying.

42
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,720
How low is that, Tess?

43
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,520
Yes, this is Tess.

44
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,320
Oh, g'day Tess, it's Justin Dwyer and Marg
Ross from St Vincent's psilocybin trial.

45
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:44,600
Hi, Tess.

46
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,720
Yes, our trial through St Vincent's is
the first psychedelic-assisted

47
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,680
therapy trial in Australia.

48
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,240
And what we're looking at is how
psychological therapy

49
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:00,080
delivered pretty intensely with a dose
of psilocybin as part of the therapy.

50
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,520
We're looking at how that might
change people's experience of dying.

51
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,960
Can you do that following week?

52
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,480
Because we could— we've got
wriggle room for about 7 days.

53
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:12,360
I can push.

54
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,000
Mark's someone who's always thought a bit
outside the box,

55
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,360
and she went to a conference where this
work with peak psychedelic experience was

56
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,600
presented, then came and approached me
and asked if I would, you know,

57
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,160
as head of our unit, support
a research program examining exactly this.

58
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,160
So psilocybin is a psychedelic compound
that is typically found in the psilocybe

59
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,760
genre of magic mushrooms.

60
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,240
And the classic psychedelics
seem to be able to occasion

61
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,880
mystical type experience,
or quite deeply spiritual type

62
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,840
experiences,
or the transcendent, if you like.

63
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,120
So these experiences of awe.

64
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,040
Miquel.

65
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Brian, he cried a lot of tears during it,
actually, and mostly there were tears

66
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,320
of joy and awe,

67
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,520
but he also said some of them are regret

68
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,000
at the lack of ability to have seen
and to know

69
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,200
the depth of meaning and embedded divinity

70
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,600
that he came to see

71
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,920
through that experience.

72
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,360
And actually what it did was make
him absolutely

73
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,560
un-fearful about what came after death.

74
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:39,120
He will walk across that bridge,
I know, with great expectancy and joy.

75
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:40,640
Yeah.

76
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:41,440
Ooh.

77
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,420
Ooh.

78
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,640
You know, it really shocked me that what's
sort of come out of it is that people feel

79
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,920
as though you know,
their whole life has kind of made sense

80
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,320
in the context of knowing
that they're going to die.

81
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,240
And even though I've worked in palliative
care, you know, cancer now for a good sort

82
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,680
of 15 years, I didn't see that one coming.

83
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,600
Hi.

84
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,800
Hello.
Thank you.

85
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,960
I wanted to be part of the trial to

86
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,400
learn how to deal with my own emotions

87
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:28,000
and that I kind of hope, like, to let go
from everything that I'm

88
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,280
holding inside me.

89
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,960
And that includes, like, I don't know,
fear of the— I don't know,

90
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,880
just trying to be constantly strong.

91
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,800
How are you feeling today?
Are you feeling— Yes, I'm feeling good.

92
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,640
Yes.
Yes.

93
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:50,080
The thing about the psilocybin is that
it doesn't actually put

94
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:51,920
anything in your head.

95
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,560
So it's not like a drug you take and it,
you know, inserts experiences.

96
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,480
Everything that comes up for you
with the psilocybin, it's yours.

97
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,360
It's all from inside of you.

98
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,920
And it takes you to some
extraordinary places.

99
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,060
But we will be with you the whole time.

100
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:16,680
So we just got everything ready,
so headphones, eyeshades,

101
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,160
we've got a nice heated blanket.

102
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,960
That's the psilocybin.

103
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,000
We want it to be easy
and we want the pill to simply

104
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,640
fall out straight into their hand.

105
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,040
Um, and it will just tumble down.

106
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,760
And do you need to put
your arm back under there?

107
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:34,920
Okay, here we go.
